Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool modifies existing ad configuration (ORTB native ad settings) for a zone, which is a reversible write operation. While it affects advertising infrastructure, the change can be undone by updating the zone again. The blast radius is moderate—incorrect updates could disrupt ad serving, but no data is deleted and financial transactions are not directly triggered.
From the tool's definition Tool name contains 'update' and description states 'Update an existing ORTB native ad for a standard zone', indicating modification of existing data.
